    Hemipelvectomy surgery does not appear to cause bladder dysfunction. Urological investigations in patients 5 to 90 months post-surgery showed normal bladder function and micturition control.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Hemipelvectomy is a major surgical procedure involving the removal of half of the pelvis.
    • Potential impacts on pelvic organs, including bladder function, require thorough investigation.
    • Understanding long-term functional outcomes is crucial for patient recovery and quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess bladder function in patients following hemipelvectomy.
    • To determine if hemipelvectomy leads to micturition disturbances.
    • To evaluate urodynamic parameters in the long term after this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Urological assessment in seven patients 5-90 months post-hemipelvectomy.
    • Investigations included intravenous urography and micturition-cysto-urethrography.

  • Cystoscopy, cystometry, and simultaneous urodynamic flow and pressure measurements were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • All investigated patients demonstrated normal bladder function.
    • No significant micturition disturbances were observed post-hemipelvectomy.
    • Urodynamic parameters indicated preserved bladder control and voiding efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemipelvectomy does not appear to negatively impact bladder function or micturition.
    • Patients can expect preserved urinary continence and voiding function after this surgery.
    • Further research can explore specific surgical techniques and their nuanced effects.
